WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Lost volume occurs naturally during aging, particularly in the mid-face, as the cheeks become hollow and flat. Nurse practitioner Briana Torrey uses Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid-based injectable dermal filler that allows for deeper and longer-lasting volume in the cheeks. In addition to restoring the contour of the cheeks, Sculptra can decrease the look of shallow to deep lines and wrinkles, including the nasolabial folds (sometimes called laugh or smile lines) that run from the edges of the nose to the mouth’s outer corners. With a unique formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra increases the natural production of collagen in your body so even after you stop injections, your complexion should be healthier than before Sculptra injections.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR SCULPTRA?
Sculptra offers an excellent solution for those seeking to enhance mid-face contours without the need for surgical procedures. Suitable candidates include individuals with naturally flat cheeks or those dealing with age-related volume loss. Sculptra is also effective in addressing a range of facial imperfections, from fine lines to deep wrinkles such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and chin wrinkles. Thanks to Sculptra’s unique formula, which stimulates the body’s innate collagen production, most patients can expect noticeable improvements in both the appearance and vitality of their skin.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN GETTING SCULPTRA INJECTIONS?
Following your consultation to create your personal treatment plan, you can receive your injections in one of our private procedure rooms. The injector may use a local anesthetic or numbing cream before cleaning and marking the injection sites. Once you are prepared, the filler is injected into the deeper layers of the skin at the chosen areas of the face. For best results, Briana Torrey suggests a series of four Sculptra injections performed at Brisa Aesthetics around three weeks apart.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SCULPTRA
Following your appointment, you might encounter mild to moderate symptoms like redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site. These are typically transient and should resolve within a few days. To facilitate the healing process, applying cold packs to the injection sites can be helpful. It’s advisable to minimize exposure to UV rays and apply sun protection to safeguard your skin. Many patients often notice immediate improvements right after the treatment, but the full results usually manifest after several months as the boosted collagen production fortifies the skin. If administered in a series of injections spread over 3-4 months, these results can endure for up to two years.
